The premier US investigating agency had earlier confirmed the role of Pakistan based terror groups in executing the attacks. An FBI agent, who deposed before the court had said that GPS data clearly indicated that there was a Pakistani link to the Mumbai attacks.

He also informed the court that satellite data revealed that the 10 attackers had travelled from Karachi and reached Mumbai via sea. Evidence from the FBI has lent more strength to the Indian stand that terrorists, who carried out the Mumbai carnage were being handled by their masters from across the border. India also holds that the entire operation was planned, organised and executed by terror outfits based in Pakistan.
